Ken, this is IMHO a very neat image! It has to be seen in the larger post to be fully appreciated I think. The looking down of the eagle makes the image stand out, as well as the detail in the eagles body, the color and the very nice BG. I am surprised there has not been more comments. Thanks for shairng.

Thanks very much John, I think that the normal size post just does not show enough, but it is a pretty big bird, perhaps a tighter crop for web presentation?
